These fluff pieces don't appear out of thin air ... come on who's mates with Jem stone?
Well deserved recognition none the less, even if it's in such a disreputable fake news outlet like the Graudian.
I pitched it to WSC a while back and they printed it earlier this year. With thanks to various contributors on here who helped with putting it together. Occasionally they syndicate some of their text pieces to the Guardian which is what happened today. Its affectionate but not exactly fluff i think. And yes. Come on. Who is mates with this "Jem Stone ?"
I am.

I’m a fairly new member only a few years, but I still get amazed by the breadth of help, knowledge and humour that abounds on NSC. I’ve always been treated well even though I’m only half a fan..... and there is no other place I’d rather be for anything to do with women, politics, life and the Albion.
Great, true article.

First time I've read this as missed it in WSC.
Nicely done, Jem.
'Mostly older Albion fans', though? At 33, am I still one of the younger breed? That's both exciting and depressing in equal measure.
I hope this isn't a medium that's had its day. It doesn't feel like it is.

An update describing the humour and power of a community of 10,000 detectives might make even more compelling reading....

I always imagined you were younger than that, [MENTION=6625]Badger[/MENTION].
I think it's the sheer force of hatred and musings of doom that you could bring to the office environment, on the Bellcheeses thread that gave me a picture of an anarchic student-type. Perhaps with a Free Tibet sticker on your jacket. Or death to office dogs tattoo.
Not for me, if I'm being honest.
Much like the Albion, I prefer it when NSC operates below the radar...

I wrote this a few months ago. Agreed the Alireza thread this weekend was astonishing stuff.

On reflection i was a little bit broad when i tried to capture NSC in 800 or 900 words. If i was doing it again i might have been a bit more nuanced about the age/gender profile of the users. Not all middle aged men !
Also something i ignored is how the political side of things (Trump, Corbyn, Brexit ) fuels a fair bit of engagement on some threads and probably makes the moderators jobs a bit harder.
Not for me, if I'm being honest.

Back in the day we knew how to deal with snowflakes.

Well I did move over to Canada to become a student again, albeit quite briefly. You won't see me going on any protest marches. A "death to office dogs" tattoo though, interesting idea...
